New music from the upcoming Eluvium album Nightmare Ending. The song is called "Envenom Mettle" and is part of a long-shelved group of songs that will be released via Temporary Residence on May. 14. It's a sprawling and messy song, but it's everything that's good about Eluvium music. Nightmare Ending is a group of songs that's been in existence for a while, and was meant to be the follow up release to Copia, but instead it was put in the vault while Matthew Cooper a.k.a. Elvium cranked out Similies that was released in 2010.

The press materials give some clarity, saying "Cooper labeled each Nightmare Ending track as either a "dream," or an "imperfection" - a way of differentiating the philosophical concept of "dream vs. reality," couched in the more tangible technical distinctions of "flawless vs. flawed." With each progressive listen those differences naturally challenged themselves, and without relying on the standardized perfection protocol, Cooper became increasingly reluctant to release any of it."
